What is Covered Under Medical Interpreting Services?
If you are a BC resident who is Deaf, Deafened, Deafblind, or Hard of Hearing, you can access an interpreter for most medical appointments and services covered under the Medicare Protection Act and the Hospital Insurance Act.
Fees and Cancellations
- If you are Deaf, Deafened, Deafblind, or Hard of Hearing, Medical Interpreting Services are provided at no cost to you.
- If you need to cancel an appointment, cancellations must be received by the MIS office two business days before the scheduled appointment to avoid being charged the full rate of the interpreting services requested. There are no fees for appointments cancelled with at least 48 hours notice.
Book an Interpreter
MIS strives to meet your needs in medical interpreting situations. In order to ensure that your interpreter request is met, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible prior to the date that you require an interpreter. By doing so, you increase the success of obtaining an interpreter at your requested date and time.
If your medical situation is work-related (WorkSafe BC) or due to a car accident (ICBC), please inform the dispatcher when you book your appointment.
**Please note that MIS does not provide interpreting services for non-medical appointments. If you require interpreting services for non-medical appointments, please see our Community Interpreting Services page.
